A Note About Real HorsesFor educational purposes, the model horses of Blue Mountain Stable trace to real horse lines, denoted with an (R). If desired, you may submit real horse pedigrees as your sire or dam of choice, to be bred to a sire or dam at Blue Mountain Stable. Just be sure to include the same info as you would for a model horse parent (see requirements below).

Breeding Requirements

Info RequiredWhen submitting a request, please include the following info for each offspring:

Desired birth date (plus a couple other options in case that one is already taken)

Breed, color and description of markings (if any)

Model, mold and manufacture info

Photo if desired on pedigree

Sire and/or dam desired

If supplying the other parent, please include above info on that parent plus a five generation pedigree. Please see next page about outside model parents.

Model Requirements

If you desire an offspring from my stallions, I have no restrictions on model or make of offspring. However, if you desire offspring from one of my mares, I require realistic makes like Breyer, Peter Stone, Copperfox, quality customs, artist resins and similar model horses so that my mares have a decent chance in bloodstock competition classes, since they only have so many years available to produce offspring.Age RequirementsStallions must be four years old at least when they sire your offspring and mares must be five years old at least when they produce your offspring. As a convenience, I have listed available stallion years as FFC (First Offspring Crop) and open mare years.

Color Genetics/Disease Genetics RequirementsPlease be sure to follow realistic color genetics. If in doubt, choose one parent the same color as the offspring and/or use the online horse coat color calculator.

Homozygous means the horse will always pass on that gene to its offspring. If the horse is homozygous dominate, not only will the offspring have the gene but it is guaranteed to express on the offspring (hence it will be the same color regardless of the other parent).

Please be sure to follow disease genetics so as NOT to propagate diseases like HYPP.

Using Model Horses Outside Blue Mountain StableI will not breed my model horses to other model horses unless you own the other model or have express written permission from the owner in advance of submitting your request (I will not request permission for you).

Finished Pedigree Certificates

Basic Pedigree CertificatesBasic pedigrees are six-generations and double-sided. The back side includes a diagram for marking the white markings on your horse, noting show results and recording transfer of ownership.

If you supply a photo of your horse, I will include that in the background of the front page as an old-style watermark, as seen on many real pedigrees. The result works best if you photograph your horse against a white background.

Premium Pedigree CertificatesThese certificates include an additional paper that details information on key ancestral lines and their show records or interesting genetic notes. It also includes a small, full-color photo of your offspring.​To receive premium pedigree certificates, you must also submit a full-color photo of your horse (+ photo/info of other parent if not from the Blue Mountain Stable), photos of ancestors you want highlighted and notes about those ancestors such as show results or genetic results.
